Along the Meuse River

Highlight • River

The Meuse here is very small. It has not yet reached the dimensions of a river. The watercourse is more like a river where it is nice to dip your feet in the water.

Pouilly-en-Bassigny

Highlight • Settlement

This is the town where the Meuse has its source. A sign to the south-east of the village shows you the way to take. In fact, you can't go wrong, it's Rue de la Source.

The Cathedral Saint-Mammès, consecrated to the 3rd-century martyr, is a significant structure of the Archdiocese of Langres. It was built from 1150 onwards and illustrates the transitional phase between Romanesque and the first Gothic innovations. The nave, with its pointed arch vaults, offers remarkable lighting conditions for its time. The imposing neoclassical facade, added in 1768, integrates two towers and symbolic statues of the Synagogue and the Church.

Saint-Mammès Cathedral of Langres

Highlight • Religious Site

Langres is a beautiful place that is probably of Celtic origin. About 2000 years ago the Romans surrounded the city with the fortress.
The city was destroyed by the Vandals around 407 and then rebuilt much smaller. In 731 the city was destroyed, this time by the Saracens.
In 1284, Langres, along with all of Champagne, became part of the French kingdom. In the 14th and 15th centuries, Langres was expanded into a powerful fortress.
It's easy to take a walk along the four-kilometer-long city wall with its twelve towers and seven gates. There is also a small tourist “train” that runs here.
Also worth seeing is the St-Mammès Cathedral, built in the Burgundian-Romanesque style with a touch of Gothic. They were built in two phases around 1160 and 1220.
We have made a stopover in Langres for the third time with our motorhome, up in the citadel with a wonderful view of the landscape, and we are happy to come back.

Porte des Terreaux

Highlight • Other

The Porte des Terreaux is a historic gate in Langres. It is one of the gateways to the fortified city, which is surrounded by a 3.5 km wall. The gate was built in the early 13th century to allow military convoys to bypass the city center. The gate had a double drawbridge and a barbican, a defense structure that was later demolished. The gate also has a mâchicoulis cornice (extension above the entrance), a medieval architectural element.

Diderot Square

Highlight • Monument

In this square in the centre stands a statue of the philosopher Diderot. In the shadow of the statue of this great man, a "selfie bench" has been placed, where you can take a picture of yourself next to the "Nephew of Rameau". Michel Boussard made the statue of the nephew, a famous character in Diderot's book "The Nephew of Rameau" (which was published after his death in 1821).

Côte des 3 Rois

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The Faubourg de trois Roi in Langres is a district in the southwest of the city, which takes its name from the three kings who visited the city in 1431: Charles VII of France, Sigismund of Luxembourg and James I of Scotland. The district has a historic character, with many old houses and monuments, such as the Porte Longe Porte, the Tour du Petit Sault and the Hôtel de Piepape. The district is also a lively place, with many shops, cafes and restaurants.
